roundy round round? What's with Colorado and all the roundness? I found that there was a Transportation Research Board National Roundabout Conference in Vail, Colorado in May 2005...man, I'm sorry I missed that one!

Then in Loveland, Colorado, there is something weird going on with RoundaboutsUSA RoundaboutsUSA - Loveland, CO Roundabouts so having seen this, I now know more than I ever would want or need to know about roundabouts.


Around here we just call them circles...traffic circles that is.

So unc, are you in Loveland, Colorado? ...and if so, why?

Sorry it took me so long to get the my next place but I'm getting shorter on inspiration. I did hunt around online a lot, searched all sorts of possible ideas. Maybe some beautiful genie needs to rub my magic bottle until smoke comes out.



OK, where in the world am I this time?
